Similar situation prevailed in Dharmaram mandal headquarters of Peddapalli district. Trouble began when workers of both the parties tried to burn the effigies of their opponents’ leaders. Police brought the situation under control by pacifying the mob.
Cops foiled an attempt of Congress workers to to burn an effigy of Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao in Vemulawada.
Reacting on TPCC chief comments, Karimnagar Mayor Y Sunil Rao said farmers were happy with various welfare schemes being provided to them under the leadership of the Chief Minister.

Were Congress leaders wishing to repeat the Basheerbagh police firing, he asked.
